Garfunkels Nice, modest priced restaurant in Leicester Square. We used to go there many years ago - and were pleased to find it. Perhaps it's moved a few doors since we first went there, but the memory plays tricks

Almost every ammenity available advertised by the hotel is a considerable charge extra - no bargains here.
The shower settings were either painful or tepid - there as nothing like a good shower to be had.
After spending day after day walking and tubing around London, the least I expect is a good shower and a comfortable bed. I've had better at the cheapest hotel taken at the last moment near Newark Airport (for $80).
They can try to sell you on location; I find it difficult to believe there's more demand on rooms than outside a major airport or in Manhattan (where one can still rough it, with good planning, in an apartment hostel (that's with an 's') for less than $80).
Location: good neighborhood, walking distance to lots of great architecture and museums, a tube stop away from a lot, 2 to 8 tube stops away from much of what a basic tourist in London would want access to. So that was good.
But there have to be better choices....
As for being a Gay traveller (as I've identified), it was pretty much as neutral and non-judgemental as I'd hoped, but I didn't feel particularly welcome, which was strange in a major city considering how near-by neighborhoods with an open Gay presence are.
